The resort has cottages with rooftop sitouts that provide an amazing view of the surrounding forest and a natural stream. Go for jungle safari, bird watching and a night safari in buffer zone.

HolidayIQ Traveller Parmeshwar Swami shares, “All the cottages have machaans and open private garden.You can spend hours in the sit out watching exotic birds or reading a book. Indeed a place for first, second, fifteenth or fiftieth honeymoon :) Staff is very courteous and will go an extra mile to accommodate your special needs. They made special lunch menu on request, but commendable considering you are so many miles away from civilization and essential supplies! We had pre-booked safaris which were well arranged. A definite thumbs-up to this amazing resort and staff. If in Pench, has to be this place, worth every penny you spend here.”

Mogli's Pench

Want to have some tour in a jungle? Don't have a preplanned tour ?? Want to experience a wildlife tour similar to the stature of Kanha ???Let's go to Pench National Park.Enter from Nagpur. 2 Hrs drive from the station or 1. 5 hrs drive from the airport will reach you to the Kipling Court, a well maintained property of having the facilities of restaurant, children's play area, swimming pool, watch tower. The watch tower is actually for bird sightings.Enter the jungle through Seoni gate before 6. 45AM in the winter seasons just when the Sun is washing his eyes to start working all through the next 10 Hrs. You can also enter through the same gate before 3PM in the afternoon session.After entering the jungle you will be mesmerized by the landscapes and its flora and fauna. It's no way less than Kanha ... But better in its serenity and less attendance of tourist due to less vigorous marketing.Believe me, Pench river and it's tributaries made this area a heaven for the wildlife as well as for the tourists.
